The Holly Jolly Holiday Tag

Hey there! I thought I would finish off my christmas series with a tag that I think is very cool :) 

1. What is your all time favourite Christmas movie?

Home Alone, all parts. I just love it and in Estonia they come on TV every year just before Christmas so when you see the first part of Home Alone on TV then you know that Christmas is really close :)

2. Have you ever had white Christmas?

It's usually every year, even if there's just a little bit of snow but sometimes the snow has melted by Christmas, which seems to be the case for this year also :/

3. Where do you usually have the Christmas party?

We have a big party with all our relatives together and then every year we're in a different house, like one year we're at my granny's, the other year we're at my other relatives etc.

4. Play or sing your favourite Christmas song

*sings it out loud*

5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

Yes. Well actually we wake up on Christmas eve morning and then downstairst we have presents under the tree and then we open them first thing in the morning. Sometimes it could happen that during the day some more presents come there (from grandma and grandpa) and then we open these too. And then on Christmas day we have santa coming over and there we also get one present each.

6. Can you name all santa's reindeer?

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the red nosed reindeer...hahah, sorry I had to sing it but the anwser is yeah.

7. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?

We have a real tree, I just love the smell of spruce! But I do have a mini fake one in my room every year.

8. Hands down all time favourite holiday food and sweet treat.

I think it must be the classic, boiled potatoes and sauerkarut. And sweet treat obviousely gingerbread!

9. Be honest, do you like giving or recieving gifts?

I really enjoy giving. First of all, you get an excuse to go shopping, pretty major reason to love givng gifts, huh? ;) and second is the feeling you get inside, especially when you're happy with the present, and the other person likes it too, it's the warm and fuzzy feeling that you get inside yunno

10. Dream place to visit for Christmas?

It's gotta be London for me. I've seen SO MANY amazing pictures of the Big Eye and Big Ben during Christmas time and also the fireworks seem so cool there. 

11. Does your family have a traditional Christmas recipe?

Our family doesn't really but one thing that you might not know about Estonia (if you're not from here obviousely) is that when it's Christmas and actually overall winter time Estonians like to eat blood sausage. Yup. I know what you're thinking but hey, there's the blood pudding that some people like to eat too, not Estonians. And I actually quite like the blood sausage. 

12. Most memorable Christmas memory?

Okay, this is like really bad...my most memorable memory with Christmas is a bad one. But I just remember that picture of me where I'm like 6 years old and I come crying down my kinder garden hall with a pack of candy in my hand. The reason for that was that we had to read a poem to santa and santa seemed so scary, my parents told me that I was terrified of him for quite a few years, but then again, which little kid isn't a bit frightened by this red-nosed guy....

13. What makes the holiday special to you?

I think it's the fact that everybody is just so much happier and so friendly with even strangers. And then the snow is so beautiful, I feel for the countries that don't get any snow in the winter, they're missing out on a really beautiful thing.

14. Do you make new year's resolutions and do you stick to them?
I do make one or two little resolutions but I don't usually stick to them. For 2014 though, I want to keep blogging because I really suck at sticking to things but blogging is something that I really love so let's just hope that I'll continue to do that. And then another thing that I hope to do is to graduate 9th grade with good grades. And the third resolution is to go to London, just go there somehow, I need to get my parents in on that!!!

So that is it for the tag and I would love to see you doing it too, so as usual, I'm tagging you all :)
My question to you this time is, what new year's resolutions did you make/will you make yourself for the begnning year?

Have a beautiful, magical, wonderful day!
